Watermelon Rind Cake To #CreateFearlessly

Today I ventured upon a totally new and innovative experiment in my kitchen as a part of #CreateFearlessly activity by Blogadda. I badly wanted to bake a cake with my new Hamilton Beach India Large Oven at the same time I wanted the dish to be unique. I had a big watermelon lying on my table since one week. Somehow we did not eat it due to one or the other reason. I had heard from my hubby about my mom in law making a cake with watermelon rind. Yes, you heard it right… watermelon rind cake… and that too eggless and sugar-free!

Normally, we all discard the watermelon rind. But have you ever thought how healthy it is? The recipe mentioned in today’s post is completely healthy as it is sugarless. I have used jaggery instead of sugar and it is made with semolina/rava, so you can bake this cake anytime and pack it in your kid’s snack box. So next time before you discard the watermelon rind, remember that it is not waste, but real wealth and you can make wealth out of waste i.e. this yummy cake.

The Hamilton Beach hand blender did a lovely job of chopping the rind using the chopping bowl and the power stick blending wand agreed on the task of making puree of the rind. You can either use the entire rind along with the green part or you can just scrape away the green part and use the white part i.e. the portion between the red and green part of the watermelon. The advantage of using the entire watermelon rind is that it is nutritious, but it turns slightly bitter.

The Hamilton Beach Hand Blender gives a superior performance as it has a motor of 600 watts. Just one tool can do multiple jobs like blending, chopping, whipping, mixing and pureeing. The ergonomically designed stainless steel body and the rubberized spray finish makes it comfortable for daily use. There are 2 speeds with variable and turbo speed options. The accessories include power stick blending wand, whisk, chopping bowl with lid, mixing cup with lid and wall mount. Cleaning the blender is very easy as all the parts can be easily detached.

The large oven is also a darling as you saw in the previous post where I baked crispy crunchy biscuits. Apart from biscuits, I baked bread and some vegetables too. I also made bakes brinjal bruschetta and my family loved it. I used the chopping bowl of the hand blender to chop tomatoes and onions and used the oven to bake brinjals. I will share the recipe soon. I have started making a lot of healthy and innovative dishes now. Today I took this cake to my office and shared with my colleagues and friends. They just loved it and they were literally surprised when I told them that the cake was made up of watermelon rind. So check the recipe below on how to bake a cake with watermelon cake and you too can impress your guests and friends. Also check the Ripe Jackfruit cake recipe.
